My Protector

I want to share my thoughts on religion verses relationship. So many times people ask how to get free from their sins and the darkness that keeps pulling them away from God. It takes you! You have to be the one that is ready to let go of what is holding you back! There may be something that you are holding on to that you may not even realize. I want to share a touch of my testimony. When I was finally set free from what was blocking me from God, it was not even what I thought it was. I thought it was unforgiveness that I had against myself for what happen to my dad. But, although Holy Spirit did fully release me from that, it was my childhood and the feeling of not being enough. After I let that go, I was fully free and I could physically feel it. My roots were so deep and filling so much of my heart that it manifested into a physical pain. I would get migraines often but as soon as I dug all those rotted roots out of my heart, they stopped. Guys, God wants to do the same for you! I still struggle and the enemy still attacks, but I now have the tools I need to realize it sooner and rebuke him before those roots settle back in my heart. I can’t say the amount of times I have seen someone get so close to freedom. Then they realize that it’s not what they are used to or they are scared of the unknown, then they turn their back to God and run the other way. Imagine pumping your sewer in a pool then jumping in it, that is what it is like when you stay in the same crap that you have been holding on to. Jesus died on the cross for you to release those burdens to Him. Every lash He took was for your heartaches you are carrying. GIVE IT BACK TO HIM! He does not want you to swim in your crap, He wants to set you free from them so you can fully live how you were intended to live. I want you to pack up those nasty roots that are filling your heart, put it in a suitcase, and lay it at Jesus’s feet….and do not pick them back up. They will no longer be yours to carry. If you have kids, let them see you release all your heartache and burdens. Let them see what it is to truly let go, because when you do that you are doing it for your kids and your grandkids. You will be breaking a generational curse. Do not let what you do in this life affect your family! But let what you do change the whole trajectory of your family where they will get blessing upon blessings because of you! You took that bold step to release it all back to God. 1 Peter 5:6-9 “Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast ALL your anxiety on him because He cares for you. Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” I have so much to tell you just on this scripture as I too battle everyday, next time we will get into more of that. Side note that is what this blog was going to be, but Holy Spirit had other ideas. So as Matthew 11:28-30 says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” When you let go of your burdens, you get free, then you pack a different bag of all the goodness that God does in your life and you follow Him. Have your daily encounters and your daily repentance. That is what building a relationship with God is about. Jesus is waiting on YOU!
